Rian Johnson's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will hit Netflix on Dec. 23 and is expected to hit theaters earlier. Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, the new film from The Revenant filmmaker Alejandro G. Inarritu, will hit be in theaters exclusively for over a month before it streams on Dec. 16.
